Should I learn Spanish?

Hi!
I'm wondering if i should learn Spanish. Is it a good idea? Has anyone from cboard ever learnt it? If so have you ever had to use it? To guys from usa is it really popular there?
Maybe i should learn german or ...?

I would say that the major languages anyone who is getting into computers should learn are : Mandarin Chinese(Cantonese is dying out thanks to big-wigs in Beijing), Japanese, and Hindi. All of these languages can probably be learned to fluency within a decade depending how hard you work on it, and what you local population demographics are(for example, if you live in an area that is mostly Chinese, then you can probably find someone willing to help you more than if you were in an area with barely any Chinese).

In the US; however, I would say that you should definitely learn spanish as probably in 20 years that will be the majority of the population(see what hatred for birth control gets ya, ).

understanding the culture helps to use the language properly. If you speak spanish words in an english context you'll either A) not make sense, B) make sense but insult someone, or C) get lucky and it all works out.

You should ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY learn a new language. Learning about languages has been the best thing I've ever done, and I think it is extremely fun. Most jobs will move you up MUCH higher on their list just for knowing another language. You will also learn much more about English. I hope to make a career in languages; who knows, you might turn out to like them just as much too!
